DISINFO: In Ukraine, the nationalists continue to violate the rights of the Russian-speaking population

SUMMARY

Ukraine continues to violate the rights of the Russian-speaking population: nationalist ideas continue to dominate the country’s state policy, and the new President Volodymyr Zelenskyy cannot solve the problem with aggressive radicals and repeal the nationalist law, which forces Ukrainian citizens to speak only Ukrainian.

RESPONSE

This is another example of Russian disinformation about the law on the state language in Ukraine. Russia insists that the so-called "language law" violates the country's constitution and the rights of the Russian-speaking population. This is a constant narrative of Russian propaganda that the rights of Russians are violated in Ukraine, and the country's leadership is radically nationalist.
